Hi!

I have a working Ubuntu 10.04 version installed on my laptop and am trying to upgrade to 12.04 using a fresh install. I have burned the general 386, 32 bit iso on to an USB stick using the Universal-USB-installer (as mentioned in the official documentation).

I can boot from the live-usb and it seems to work fine. So, I try to install. I choose the default partioning (entire disk) and click on "Install Now". But the installer hangs while "configuring the hardware". Pressing any key at this stage drops me to a black screen, with the following message printed -

device-mapper:dm-raid45:initialized v0.2594b

Nothing I do seems to make any difference here. Any pointers as to what I should be investigating to solve this?

Thanks,
Tapti.

Don't know, maybe this will make sense to you.
